The occurrence of cervicitis has a serious impact on women. We need to understand its pathogenic factors, actively and effectively prevent it in daily life, and also pay attention to daily habits.
Does cervicitis have an impact on pregnancy
Due to the fact that the cervix is located at the junction of the uterus and vagina, it is the place through which sperm must pass before entering the fallopian tube and combining with the egg. If infected by bacteria and inflammation occurs, it can manifest as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, and cervical gland cysts, causing an increase in viscous and purulent vaginal discharge in the cervical canal. The increasing amount of vaginal discharge can become an insurmountable obstacle for sperm, which is not conducive to penetration of the cervix. In addition, among patients with severe cervicitis, some female friends often have endocrine dysfunction, which, combined with multiple factors, is detrimental to pregnancy. In daily life, female friends must actively treat mild inflammation to avoid worsening the condition and affecting pregnancy.
Hazards of cervicitis
1. Impact on marital life: Severe pain or bleeding symptoms during sexual activity can cause women to develop a sense of disgust towards marital life, thereby seriously affecting marital relationships.
2. Causing infertility: Causing infertility is also a common risk of cervicitis. When women suffer from cervicitis, there is a significant increase in cervical secretions, with a thick texture and abundant white blood cells, which has a negative impact on sperm motility, hinders sperm entry into the uterine cavity, affects pregnancy, and even infertility.
3. Induced abortion: Long term cervicitis changes cervical tissue, reduces elasticity, hinders the production process, and increases the likelihood of miscarriage.
4. Induce cervical cancer: relevant surveys show that the incidence rate of cervical cancer in women with cervicitis is 10 times higher than that in women without cervicitis. Long term untreated cervicitis is considered an important factor in the development of cervical cancer.
5. Causing multiple complications: Causing multiple complications is also one of the hazards of cervicitis. After women suffer from cervicitis, the pathogen can rise and infect the uterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels that cause endometritis, leading to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, it can also cause diseases such as cervical polyps, ectropions, and cysts.
Causes of cervicitis
1. Poor hygiene habits: Not paying attention to genital hygiene, often wearing tight underwear, not washing underwear and sanitary pads frequently, sitting for a long time, etc., can easily cause bacterial infections, which can cause vaginal inflammation and long-term stimulation of the cervix, leading to cervicitis.
